Description
This activity deals with work on stereotyping and prejudice about other cultures: it involves working with perceptions that we have about minority groups, understanding how those stereotypes work and generating creativity and spontaneous ideas from the learners.
Participants are asked to form teams of 3 or 4 people. Then, each team prepares a sheet and coloured crayons. Each group is then given a word (racism, discrimination, gay, African, human rights, etc.) and asked them to translate the word by creating a drawing.
The other groups must guess what the drawing depicts. If they find the right answer, the team which presented this drawing wins a point. If they do not find it, they get no points. After having shown all the drawings made by all the teams, each artist writes the word under the drawing. The activity can be repeated several times so that everyone can have the opportunity to draw. In the end, the drawings are put up on boards, compared, and learners are invited to comment on the different interpretations shown.
